So my question is: after you discuss with your child what happend, discuss feelings, allow the child to admit their mistake, understand why the child lied, as a parent role-model the behavior I want from my child, understand what needs to be done to put this issue to rest, let go and move on...as a parent do I give my child a consequence for him not being honest with me in the first place? thanks for your response. Thanks,

We call it con sequence but often it's a punishment. Do we guide them or do we restrict them? I think raising teens is the hardest thing I've ever done and the answer of how to respond to a breach in trust is different for each kid and each situation. I think it’s a personal choice.
